Calves
The slaughter of young calves ls
one of tlie serious phases of the prob
lem ol the maintenance of our coun
try's beef supply. Statistics indicate
that the slaughter of such animals ls
Increasing rapidly, due primarily to
an increase in the demand for veal,
in spite of the fact that veal ls ordi
narily sold at an extremely high price,
per pound '?
These veal calves are largely drawn
from the dalry districts, but, with the
growth in the demand for veal, other
sections are marketing as veal in con
siderable numbers calves that if kept
and fattened, would have made good
beef "steers. The market for stockers
and. feeders is therefore affected.
Various suggestions have been made
to prevent this even such radical ones
as legislation to prohibit entirely tho
slaughter of calves. The fact ls not
always recognized, however, that this .
practico ls purely economic: In dairy
districts, mlik production ls the chief i
business and calves are an incident,
valuable only to replenish thc milking
stock or for such revenue as may be
obtained from their sale as veal. As
the average dairyman must keep thc
number of his milkers at a maximum,
economy demands that he relieve him
self of his surplus calves a? soon as
possible. As there is not ordinarily
any market for such calves except for
veal, veal they become. Tro slaughter
of calves in districts which are not ex
clusively devoted to dairying probably
has as its governing factor a market
near by which pays more for .calves
as veal than as stockers.
A comparison of English mid Amer
ican methods in this respect' sheds
nonio light on this problem. In Eng
land men make n business of buying
young calves throughout the dairy
(1 is tr ic ts to be raised on milk substi
tutes aud subsequently ?fattened for
beef. In England thc dalry cows :
largely Shorthorns whose calves are
valuable for beef production. In t
United States, on the other hand the
cows of thc dalry districts are princi
pally of tho strictly dairy breeds (pure
breds or grades) or natives with nr
breeding, and the calves from such
cows have, as a rule, litio value ;
feeders for beef, but make good veal.
As the calves in a dairy herd are
not of paramount importance, a sys
tem of breeding which would increase
their value for beef production would
not necessarily decrease the dairy val
ue of the herd when grade or native
cows are used. If such cows were
bred to beef or dual-purpose bulls,
the calves would have considerable
value as stockers. This practice would
not be warranted, however, unless
there .was a near-by market for such
stockers, lt must also be observed
that this practice necessitate raising I
calves by hand, largely on milk substl- .
tutes, which adds tn tho expense ann
calv s so fed aro not so easily ralsod
as where they follow the cows until 1
weaned naturally. The labor itom is
likewise important, as this system de- <

o? labor but of skill also. In England
skilled farm labor ia cheaper than In
the United States.
Another possible solution of the
problem would be un increase in mut
ton consumption in Ute United States.
.We consume annually per capita 7
1-2 pounds of veal; which is 4 per cent
of our total meat consumption; the
people of Great Britain eat 4 pounds
of veal per capita annually; which ls
3 per cent of their annual per capita
meat consomption. We consume 6 1-2
pounds of .mutton and lamb per capi
ta, which is about 4 per cent of .our
total, whereas the British people con
sume' 26 pounds of mutton and lamb
per. capita, which ?B 22 per cent of
their annual meat consumption.
An increase in our mutton con
sumption at Gie expense of the con
sumption of veal woutd of course,
tend to make calves less valuable as
veal and would encourage a system of
breeding which would bring them. In
to demand as stockers. An increase in
mutton consumption would also ea

this could bc brought about on dairy
farms ' without affecting the economy

point A small flock of sheep on a
farm will increase the productiveness

WHY CORN STUBBLE
* SHOULD BE- TURNED
Cern Stalks Rorer Profits Greatly
When Farmers Leave Stub
ble Undisturbed.
Clemsan College, Doc. .30.-The
corn stalk borer is ono of the "rea
sons" why corn stubble should not
bo allowed to stand In the field all
winter undisturbed. This insect ts
one of the most notorious corn pests
of the south. Without cutting tho
stalks the evidence of its work may
be seen In every corn field . at the
time of harvesting by the holes that
may occur on any portion of the
stalk. These holes vary largely in
number. v
"The point to bc remembered In
the Ufa history stages and habits
of this insect," says A. P. Couradi,
entomologist of Clemson College, "ls
Its habit of remaining hs a larva in
the base of corn stubble below the
ground during winter. There, there
fore, 1B a chance for those farmers
who are friends of this species to
do it a great favor by allowing the
corn stubblo to stand undisturbed ir
their fields daring fall and winter.
Destroying corn stubble is not very
easy, except on modern farms where
there ls sufficient '.?orso power an<'
thc stubbles can bo turned under
thoroughly.
"Turning under corn stubble 1B of
?treat help In reducing the. com s.anc
borer for Gie next season.. Where
thorough turning cannot be prac
tised, thero are other methods, such
EUI 'busting' out the stubble and bant
ing it to the compost heap for rot
ting. After the corn is gathered, tho
stalks, stubble and everything else
onay be bursted out, raked In heaps
md, after a fow weeks for drying,
burned? "
In experimental work a very large
percentage of larv*?>? was destroyed
luring winter where the stubblo was
plowed out .and left exposed to the
weather. It can readily be seen that
when these methods are practiced
ay farmers only hero and there lt
loes nbt help tho ? situation very
much. Tho cpntrol of thc corn stalk
borer, says tho entomologist, depends
in the cooperative action of the fer
ners ot a community.
. 'The fact must be borne in mind."
Prof. Cpnradl concludes, - "that lt fa
in extravagant farm practico to lot
?rn fields be idle and exposed dur
ng tho winter months, not only on
?ccount of these Insect pests, but on
ipeount ot the washing and leaching

SAYS
WILL HELP FARMER
President of State Fermera* Union
Writes of Marketing and Oth
er Problems.
"I wluh that T rnuld get tho OSf of
every farmer in the State to beg that
this law be allowed to stand until it
can be thoroughly tested out by three
or five years trial," says E. W. Dabbs,
president of the South Carolina State
Farmers' union in an address to the
farmers ot thc State, in which ho
makes an appeal for a ret ant ion of the
cotton acreage reduction law.
? Mr. Dabbs' letter follows:
To the Members of the Farmers'
Union and All thc Farmers of the
State:
I noticed in the papers of Monday
that there is a movement to induce
the next legislature to repeal thc cot
ton acreage law. I wish I could get
the ear of every farmer in the State
to beg that this law be allowed to
Btand until it can be thoroughly tested
out by three or five years' trial. I do
most sincerely hope that no farmer
will be BO determined V> show his in
dependence, or to assert his liberty to
do as he pleases with what is his own,
as to go into thc courts to set aside
this wise law. I can not believe that
there is a single farmer ic the State
whose condition will not ba better
next November if he lives up to the
letter and spirit of tho cotton acreage
law, than if he succeeds in smashing
that law either in the courts or In thc
legislature. It is the most conserva
tive and sensible cotton reduction
measure that has ever been proposed,
and bears equitably upon all farmers
alike, rich or poor, landlord or ten
ant. lu my opinion the farmers who
have any kick arc the few who sell
corn and hay at fancy prices to their
more improvident neighbors. They
will have to -take what their stuff is
worth hereafter in the world's mar
ket less tho freight. The average
farmer will And his own farm mar
ket that has been a buyer plus the
freight, plus thc commissions, plus
thc time prices, will absorb all that
he can make and save bim these com
missions and profits that oro making
every one but himself rich.
II Besides with less cotton to engross
all his time, lr ne pians right he can
harvest outs and wheat. 30 to 60 days
before the grain belt and sell at tho
highest prices in the World's market.
Of course this means-that tho thresh
ers must be ready to sack tho grain
right from the Said and that vhe fann
ers havo new sacks ready, and have
organized eomo system of marketing.
The biggest work that Clemton lias
ever undertaken lies right here, and
if the powers that be in Clemson and
Washington back Dr. Long to carry
out what I know he has wanted to do
ever'since I first met him, there will
bo sane marketing in South Carolina
next June and July.
Right now ls tho time to be plan
ning for sacks for this grain. Every
man who expects to have a hundred
bushels of oats to nell ougb* to pledge
to uso now cotton sacks to put them
in; four-bushel sacks for o-ts and
two-bu shel sacks for wheat and rye
would'., be about the right sise- 126
pounds and 120 pounds, respectively.
I trust that this is a matter that the
farmers' union will take up at tho
January meeting and we should like
to bear from ' manufacturers what
they will charge for such sacks. I hope
this matter will be taken up at once
and pushed through. Certainty if we
demand that sait, flour, etc, be put
up in cotton, we ought, to put our
grain on the market in cotton sacks,
The wheat growers of Washington
through tho farmers union sent a com
mittee to Atlanta for 10,000,000 cot
ion sacks three years ago and could
not get them. And the hop growers
of California had to go to Philadelphia
for cotton twine, when the mills of
the Carolinas and Georgia ought to
hare supplied both.

COTTON SITUATION
IS STILL MENDING
The German Bargain ia Reported
on the Market for Big
Things.
NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-The census
bureau's seveuth ginning report of
thc season was published on Tues
day, lt indicated ginnings to Decem
ber 13 of 13,977,189 bales, a new high
record. Ginnings, however, for the
period from December 1 to December
13 this year were 911,000 balea, slight
ly less than in the big crop year ot
1911 when they amounted to '.ci,ooo
?KM.-" Thc report had little or no
market effect for the obvious reason
that this year's supply has for some
time now been a known quantity and
in market influence will hereafter
play a secondary part to conditions
as they develop affecting next year's
supply. The week has witnessed tho
heaviest foreign buying that hos been
seen since business was resumed on
the exchange. German orders now
predominate, and houses with Brem
en connections bave accdmulated
large Unos. Thero 1B every reason to
expect* that this buying will continua
for some timo to come. It will be
recalled that in 1911 when cotton was
selling nround 81-2 cents, under the
weight of a record breaking crop for
that year, it was German purchases
that first checked the decline. Ou
that buying movement Germany took
about 2,000,000 bales. There is no
question fruin recent developments
that Gie German bargain hunter is
in the market again, he 1B apparently
confident that whatever the outcome
of the war may bo, German industrial
enterprise will not be destroyed.
Aside from this, however, lt is noted
that the stocks of other European
countries are now the smallest on any
corresponding date in years, and this
added to the tact that most of the ob
stacles to exports are removed and
that the foreign demand for cotton 1B
growing nt a time When it should be
slackening, should before lbng result
in a statistical position which, consid
ering the price level, can no longer
be construed as unfavorable to values.
In addition to the export development
thc most, important consideration ls
the conditions surrounding and lead
\ng up to next year's acreage curtail
ment. A convention of the commis
sioners of agriculture of the South
ern States wan recently- held at At
lanta. J. D. Price, commissioner for
Georgia, Bays; "I .talked with each
one of the commissioners'and asked
Giern to give mo conservative esti
mates regarding reduced acreage. I
am inclined to think that from what
Giey told me that the reduction will
como nearer to 50 per cent, than 40
per cent, as previously estimated. It
is not a question of what the farm
ers want to do, but what they hayo
got to do." Judge .Kone. the Texas
commissioner, confirms thia by stat
ing that it is hie belief that the cot
ton crop in hlB State' will bo cut f?ly
40 per cent. Cotton acreage reduc
tion is unquestionably eaBentlal to
the prosperity of the South and lt ls
reasonable to suppose with all the
publicity. given, that planters have
come to a realization, of this fact and
will act accordingly. Tho situation
as a whole, basically and speculative
ly considered appears to be stronger
now than at any time since business/
was resumed op the exchange. There
is a growing Realization that the very
low current prices discount thc un
favorable factors In the situation,
while, on tho other hand, increasing
exports and tee probability of a small
crop next year aro of sufficient con
structive force to eventually carry
prices to a higher level. Doubtless
there may DO some hesitation after-the
recent recovery In prices, and probab
ly moderate reactions from time to
time, but . everything considered it is
reasonable to expect that be foro long
the upward trend wdl be resumed.

Another account of excellent farm
work comes from Sumter to the office
of the State department of agriculture.
J. Prank Williams, farm demonstra
tor In that county uuder the direction
of the United States department of
agriculure, has furnished Commis
sioner Watson, upon request, with the
following information :
"There have been Beveral phenom
enal yields in .Sumter county this
year, especially with cotton. S. J.
Whit, in a contest for the Bank of
Sumter prise, where ho had plowed
in a cover crop of oats and vetch,
made on one acre two bales, one
weighing 512 and tho other 440 pounds
with 197 pounds of scrap seed cot
ton, making total in all of 2,897
pounds of seed cotton per acre.
"Tho same man in the same con
test made 12,070 pounds of sheaf oats,
which would be at least 120 bushels of
oats and 10,890 pounds of corn in
tho ear, net weight, which allowing
80 pounds per bushel would give a
yield of 135 bushels of corn. These
yields were made with ordinary fer
tilizing, less than 1,000 pounds per
acre.
"In the same contest W. R. Wells
made 3,000 pounds of seed cotton on
an acre with only 600 pounds of fer- I
tilizer, after having turned under a
cover crop of oats and vetch. This
yield was made on badly infected wilt
land with wilt resistant cotton. Of
course the land had not been in cotton
for two years.
"After observing and dealing with
wilt 'on my own land, it is my opinion
that in three .year rotation, where
cowpeos other than iron and Brab
ham peas are eliminated, no less from
wilt will bo seen with a good variety
of wilt resistant cotton.
.Iron peas and Brabham peas are
being grown very extensively in* Sum
ter county. I sold for myself and tho
, farmers of the county last year s ev-1
eral hundred bushels of iron peas
for Ute sale from e four-horse farm
this year.
"S. D. Cain grew 300 bushels of
Braham peas this year on a five-horse
farm of the waste land and in his
corn. Farmers who do not use large
quantities of nitrate of soda have no ?
trouble in making from five to eight
mnfhefs of peas per acre in Sumter
county.
"G. A. Lem m on has* gathered a
hundred bales of Cleveland big boll
cotton on 80 acres- or a bale ?nd a
quarter to the agre- with less than
COO pounds of fertilizer to the acre,
and that of a row grade.
"D. V. Keels?at Rembrant grew 35
bushels of wheat o? one acre and the
State farm in Sumter county has been
planting wheat for* several years,
averaging 25 bushels each year. As a
result of these' large yields ot wheat,
in thi3 community, there is being
planted in that immediate neighbor
hood 700 or 800 acres of wheat. D. V.
Keels and E. E. Rembert are plant
ing each 100 acres. This ls one of the
communitlos visited by Commission
er Watson and party on the grain
campaign
"W. li. Boyle gathered 23 tons of
oats pud vetch lrom eight aerea of
land this spring and planted the same
to cora. ? feel sure that tho corn
yielded an much as 60 bushels per
acre. I ha? e ? photograph of this
beautiful field.
j * We have come excellent results in
Sumter county from applying ground
limestone. Frank Andrevfs of Oswe
go applied a ton per acre and- any
, stranger would discern to the row in
both thu corn und the cotton exactly
,wh??-j the Unie waa broadcasted. I
would estimate that thc yield was la
crea aed this year J-l to 20 per cent."
There seems to be more Interest in
orcharding in South Carolina thia year
than ever, according to .reports being
received at Clemson College. This is

CLEMSON COLLEGE, Dec. 30.
Tho present low price of cotton has
caused many farmers to seek advice
from CleinBon College as to the eco
nomic uee of fertilizers this coming
Benson. To meet this demund, Prof.
J. H. Harper, director of tho South
Carolina Experiment Station, has
written a bulletin on this subject.
Among other things, he states that
practically all tho soils of South Car
olina will respond to good treatment
and fertilization. It docs not pay to
plant and cultivate crops unless they
aro well supplied with plant food.
"The moat important plant food for
the soils of this State," continues
Prof. Harper, "ls nitrogen (am
monia. All of our soils are deficient
in this clement. This is due to the
fact that the nitrates are soluablo
In water and are constantly leaching
out of the land. Therefore unless
crops are grown in rotation with tho
legumes, the farmer must use some
form of commercial nitrogen and he
should insist that this nitrogen be
available. Nitrate of soda, sulphate
of ammonia, blood, cotton seed meal;
fish scrap and tankage aro splendid
sources of nitrogen. Cotton seed
meal ls one of tho best and at tho
present price it is one of the cheapest.
Nitrate of Roda is also a good source
of nitrogen and it will liberate a cer
tain amount of potash in the soil.
When . applied early in tho spring lt
greatly increases tho yield of grain."
"It also pays to use acid phosphate
on all typos of soil found in thin State,
excepting where lt has accumulated
from previous fertilization?. Acid
phosphate is not only a valuable plant
food but it ls also valuable In that it
hastens tho maturity of plants, es
pecially cotton, and prevents cotton
from running to stalk or weed.**

SOUTH FINE SECTION FOR
DAIRYING
HELP TO COUNTRY
By Eliminating Tyranny of Cotton
It Would Tend to Emcsdpste
Agriculturist.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 80.-For many
years the United States department of
agriculture baa ' been endeavoring to
mrko the people of the South see the
great wisdom of going into dairying
and cattle raising on a larger scale.
At the present time lt is quite appar
ent that I something must be done to
get away from too much cotton.
Therefore the department believes
that a good substitute ls tb be found
in dairying.
Today discussing this , matter. Sec
retary Houston authorized the follow
ing statement:
"In many sections of the South a
ono-crop cotton growing system pre
vails. Certain evils produced by this
system are very forcibly demonstrated
on many farms, among which are
(1) a cash income but once a year,
(2) an unequal distribution of labor
throughout the year, (3) Impoverish
ment of the soil.
"A one-crop cotton growing system
forc?s a great many farmers either to
borrow money with which to make
the orop or buy aupplfes on a time
basis. High rates of interest must
be paid. The merchant who furnishes
the supplies often also does business
on borrowed capital. What the South
needs li not tho abandonment of cot
ton growing, but the weaving into
Gie cotton system of something that
will tn itself be profitable and also
furnish ready cash, throughout the
year. Ds'.rying meeta these require
ments, 'it ls adaptable to the condi
tions of the large and the small ferm
er, whether he owns or rents the land
"Dalndng also enable? the fermer
to. utilise for feed snd bedding large
quantities of roughage, such as straw
corn stover, shucks and coarse and
weedy hay, whteh can not ordinarily
be sold in Gio market.
"Often two crops can be grown on
the same land In one season. By grow
ing such crops. ss corn, sorghum
pcavlnos, etc., after tho wheat., oat
or rye crop has been cleared off, ex
cellent feed crops can be provided at

the small amount of cultivation nec

pay the fanners of the Piedmont sec
tion to use any potash in their ferti
lizers. The sandy soils of the coastal
plain are very deficient in potash and
what is on hand should bo used for
tho soils of that region."
"Fertilisers are not amendments or
s thou lan ts. to plant growth but fur
nish the necessary clements of plant
food without which they will not
grow. Our staple crops take out large
amounts of plant food from the soil
which must be replaced. The farmers
of tho State have not acted unwisely
In that Uley have been using f rut-'
sers in large amounts for a number
of years. However, under tho present
c???U???B with the low price of cot
ton, wo advise the farmers to reduce
tho amount of fertiliser they will use
this coining Benson."
"There is a considerable amount of
plant food stored in our soils as a
reidual from previous fertilization?
which can be called on in thia time of
need. Practically - all ot the phos
phorous that has been applied in acid
phosphate to the soils in this State,
ls still In the first 12 Inchc, except
ing that which has been taken out
by plants. Add phosphate does not
wash out of the land as does nitro
gen. In our present financial stress,
we must make good use of the plant,
food stored in our soils and reduce our
fertilizer bill as much as possible." -
"Wo reoommend to tho farmers ot
the Piedmont section that they apply
to their corn, 500 pourfts of fertiliser
composed of equal parts of acide
phosphate and cotton seid meal, Ulta
to be applied at Uto Urne of planting,
and when tho corn la waist high a *
top-dressing of from 60 to 75 pounds
of nitrate of soda. For cotton, we
recommend 200 poonda of acid phos
phate and 200 pounds ol cotton seed
meal, applied at tho Unte of planting.
For oats and wheat, we recommit-"'
100 pounds of acid phosphate should
bc. applied carly In March."
"For the coastal plain we recom
mend for corn 200 pounds of acid
phosphate and 200 pounds of cotton
seed meal, Ulis to bo applied aa re
commended by the Williamson plan,
and 100 pounds ot soda to be used
when the corn ls bunching to tassel .
For cotton, 200 pounds ot acid phos
phate, 200 pounds of cotton seed meal
and 25 pounds of moriste of potash'
and 75 pounds ot nitrate of soda to
bo applied when the squares begin td
form. For oats, we recommend 150
pounds ot acid phosphate, 160 pounds
of cotton seed meal. In addition to
this, 100 pounds of nitrate of soda
should be applied In the early

"Where lt is considered advisable
to uso more or less fertiliser' per acre
